I guess there's a lot of ret-conning going on so that The Phantom Menace doesn't exist (Maul's return, "Only 2 there are, a master and apprentice) and with A New Hope. I guess I always envisioned that Vader was so angry at the Jedi Order that he took it upon himself to see their demise, not employing clones, stormtroopers, or some new dark force user named the Inquisitor. The name sounds cool, but maybe for his first Star Destroyer (before the Executor. That I could buy). Just disappointed by that.

The inquisitors are an EU device that dates back quite a way. I seem to recall them being in the mix in the Dark Empire storyline. And I think an Inquisitor also made his way into the mix with some of the online comic strips that were featured on The Official Site. I seem to recall that some may have been Jedi that turned to the service of the New Order. Others may have been former padawans that were sent off to the agricultural corps.

Yeah, logically it's hard to see Vader NOT being the one to personally hunt down the Jedi, I mean, what else is he doing all that time? Paperwork? I like the design of The Inquisitor and all but he seems better suited as a henchman and not the lead bad guy. The double bladed light saber seems a little much too. Something less overtly Sithy would have been cooler I think.

Okay, I like the looks of some of the guys on the wiki link Jay provided. One of the guys looks like he could be an Imperial Dignitary. Speaking of the dignitaries, it would be interesting to see Sim Aloo or Sate Pestage make an appearance. Since they were Force sensitive, it'd be cool if they were involved.

It's fertile storytelling ground to be sure though...

$10 says that lightsaber spins around the handle like the Darth Maul accessory and Hasbro will making a toy version.

Yeah the ATDP actually has been in the eu for a whole but undesignated till now. Goes all the way back to Marvel but was in WEG sourcebooks too so I dig seeing it as another piece of concept art put to good use.... Be lying if I wasn't bummed that the AT-PT isn't shown.... Yet. It would fit in this era though.
